Cronjob Configuration

Basic Cronjob

The basic cronjob should run at least once a day and is used in order to activate automated tasks like recurring invoices (subscriptions) and automatic database backup. Please refer to your web host providers FAQ in order to find out how to setup a cronjob/crontab (if your hosting package includes cronjobs).

The command should look like this:

wget http://www.your-domain.com/cronjob /dev/null 2>&1

Your hosting package does not include cronjob/crontab? No problem! There are many websites who offer free cronjob services. One of them is
www.setcronjob.com.

Email Ticket Cronjob

The email ticket cronjob should run every 10 minutes and is used in order to activate email tickets.

The command should look like this (you can find your cronjob command in Settings->Ticket->Postmaster cronjob link):

wget http://www.your-domain.com/postmaster /dev/null 2>&1
